Dinosaur Cake

Make a birthday party positively prehistoric and amaze your guests young and old with this delicious critter cake. The chocolate layers are firm and dense -- developed especially for building our birthday bronto. It can be lightly covered with plastic and kept in the fridge for up to one day -- just waiting until it's lighting time.

Fish & Chips (with mushy peas)

If ever there was a British national dish, this has to be it. Loved from John O’Groats to Land’s End, fish and chips is the perfect Friday night supper.
 

A fisherman’s tale

In mid-19th-century Britain, the worlds of Irish immigrants – with their potato dominated diet – and Jewish fried fish vendors collided, and a national dish was born, spawning countless chippies on high streets and seaside piers up and down the land. About a quarter of all white fish and 10 per cent of the potatoes now sold in Britain are sold in fish and chip shops. Not to mention the pickled onions and eggs, curry sauce and mushy peas that go with them.

Chocolate Whisky Pavé with Sponge Toffee

A French term that means "paving stone," pavé describes the brick shape of this elegant dessert. Whisky often has notes of vanilla, caramel and chocolate, making it a lovely complement to desserts featuring those same flavours.

Creepy Crawly Cauldron

This bubbly cauldron with creepy-crawly tentacles is fun for the whole family, and makes a show-stopping finale to a frightful Halloween party.

Our Finest Buttermilk Scones

A classic plain scone like this can play many roles. It can be a slightly sweet sidekick with soups or stews, a tasty base for fruit shortcakes or a toothsome snack with tea or coffee. It's also delightful split and spread with jam at a holiday brunch, and the perfect starting point for three tasty variations (see below).

Gingerbread Apple Trifle

Soaked in rum and layered with juicy cinnamon apples and vanilla custard, spiced gingerbread steals the spotlight in this holiday favourite.

Chunky Monkey Waffles

Fluffy peanut butter–infused waffles topped with homemade strawberry jam and chocolate-dipped bananas make for the most fun brunch ever.

Cinnamon Orange Marmalade

Buttery Gingerbread Men

Designed to resemble crafty felt gingerbread men, the recipe yields half white and half brown cookies. Decorate with candies to resemble buttons, eyes and hearts as desired.

Black Forest Trifle

If you love the traditional Black Forest cake, this trifle is for you. We love the flavour and aroma of cherry brandy, but you can also use kirsch.
